Fridges and refrigeration in Free State
The Free State has a climate of extremes for fridges. Bloemfontein and Welkom swing from hot summer afternoons to frosty winter nights, and on the eastern highlands around Bethlehem and Harrismith snow is not unusual. Fridges and chest freezers kept in garages and outside rooms can stop starting in deep cold, then struggle in January heat. Grain and cattle farms keep freezers full of meat, the goldfields towns around Welkom have many spaza shops and taverns, and Clarens is full of guest houses and restaurants. Trucks on the N1 and N3 stop at forecourt shops with long rows of bottle coolers. Repairs to freezers, regassing and display cooler work make up most requests.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Households: a small insulated room in a garage for game meat or home catering stock
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: insulated produce stores, packhouse rooms and abattoir chillers
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a back-of-shop chiller built from panels behind a supermarket or butchery
